Knight is an adventure narrative written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the journey of a treasure-seeking expedition on a yacht named the 'Alerte,' led by the author, as they set out to explore the mysterious and treacherous shores of Trinidad in search of a legendary hidden treasure. The narrative promises a mix of exploration, peril, and encounters with natural obstacles and potential rival treasure hunters. At the start of the book, the author details his previous adventures to Trinidad and introduces the legend of a buried treasure supposedly hidden there by pirates. He shares his conversations with individuals who express interest in the treasure, ultimately leading to the decision to embark on a new expedition with a newly outfitted vessel—the 'Alerte.' The opening portion sets the stage for an exciting treasure hunt, complete with challenges such as difficult landings and the treacherous surf surrounding the island, while also hinting at the camaraderie and conflicts among the crew members as they pursue their thrilling quest.
